I think that I saw the ultimate in big brother signs yesterday. At the entrance to a company parking lot, big yellow signs on each side of gate. "Caution Winter Conditions, Parking Lot MAYBE Slippery When ICE is Present" Ken

That's the one nice thing about the Maverick, low initial price leaving more money for mods. As for the shifter, I'm happy with the dial. Been driving long enough to accept and get used to most different styles. 4 spd manual on the column, automatic on column dash or console or floor...

I have the Ford Perimeter Plus Vehicle Security System on my23. If someone attempted to use a sawsall etc. It would definitely set the alarm off. 30 seconds of horn blowing and flashing lights would be a definite deterent. It then resets automatically for the next vibration. I also get...

Very informative article, well worth reading. I have no connection with Discount Tire, in fact they are not even available in my area. The only difference in our area, people are starting to call all-season tires, three season. Last winter, I drove a Kia Soul with all-weather tires...

I have an iPhone 12, using the UsbC to lightning cable. It will bring my phone from a ~25% charge to 95% during a 45 minute drive, while using Apple carplay, maps and music. Ken

Not your build week, but take what Ford chat and especially the Ford tracker site says with a grain of salt. The tracking said mine was built on the 28th and shipped on the 29th of April. Eta to dealer was June 1-15. No change in eta, numerous checks with chat and online, even when I checked...

I just checked the specs on theWildpeak AT . Says they are a summer tire, NO 3peak snowflake rating. They would not qualify for the winter tire discount with my insurance provider. Ken

I have the Ford hard rollup tonneau cover. It is quite secure, each of the interlocking rails have a fitting on each end (side of bed). When closed, every rail is secured to the side of the bed rails with a steel bracket, and the tailgate must be opened to roll up. Minor disadvantage, it...

About 20" high. Is your toneau cover recessed below the bed rails or above. A drop in bed liner may also lose a bit of space on the bottom. Ken

I don't think it will take 10000km to "break in", get an improvement in fuel economy or get more accurate distance to empty readings. Mine seemed to improve in fuel economy and more consistent readings after 3000 - 4000 km. I don't know how many places the computer picks up information to...

My Mom and Dad gave it to me way back in 1948, I like it and plan on using it for many many more years.

My, my23 came with the block heater as standard equipment.(Canada), It took me a bit to find the plug, with the rubber protective cap on, it blends in. Exactly where 'fossils' picture shows. I plan on using mine this winter, for about 3 hrs before going out. Ken

Not on the Maverick but on the Kia Soul, front wheel drive, that I was driving last winter. It had Kumho all weather tires, with the 3peak snowflake. Very poor traction on cold (4 degree celcius) wet pavement, worst winter driving since I started using dedicated winter tires. not just...

My thoughts are along those of CTYankee " I would really want to know how a 55-mile vehicle becomes used and with title problems. My first thought is that, with that mileage and the problems described, it has to have been wrecked". The 'title problem issue' is a BIG RED flag for me...

A 23 Maverick sold in the Canadian market does have the block heater installed as standard equipment. It took a bit for me to find the plug, just not where it expected it. It is attached to passenger side of the radiator, at the top (has a round protective cover). I plan on using mine...

That was my first thought. Any kids that may think its a piggy bank? Ken

(Ontario as well, but only 12 month wait) The only one my dealer pushed was the 3yr Tire Guard for $199. No deductable, Not prorated. Also covers the winter tires (purchased as a package from dealer). Easy for me to accept because of 2 flats within a year and tires not repairable. Cost...

Can I join? From outside of Barrie now, but my heart is in Niagara area. I was born in the St Catharines General (obviously the old one on Queenston St), raised in Niagara Gardens and Merritton, near the Old Welland Canal #2) I still come to the Niagara area several times a year, so if...

"I have the same problem. I’d like to just remove it since it doesn’t seem to have any purpose, or does it? Has anyone done that?" It does have a purpose, after your truck has been in the Sun for a couple of hours, try rolling it up just using the aluminum slats. TOO hot in our area to...

Why the dealer wouldn't install a full size spare ???? It would be a lot cheaper to go to a tire dealer and get a matching tire and steel wheel for that future flat tire. Even if it is only used once in 10yrs, to me it would be worth it. A few years ago, I had a flat, I hit debris on...
